About This Site...


I am in the process of revamping this site.  Because the site now contains well over 100 separate pages, not to mention a growing collection of photographs, I felt it necessary to format it in such a way as to make navigation easier.

I have formatted some of the pages to display as 'frames'.  You can think of 'frames' page as containing separate windows.  Most of these pages will consist of 3 frames.  One frame will contain links that are similar to chapters in a book.  When you click on one of these links, it will open that 'chapter' in another frame.  In that 'chapter' frame will be a list of links that refer to separate 'pages' within the 'chapter'.  Clicking on any of those links will open that 'page' in a third frame.  All three frames will be visible in your browser window at the same time.  You can click on a link in any frame at any time to bring up a new 'chapter' or 'page' without ever having to hit your browser's "BACK" button.  This is just a more convenient way of navigating through a site that contains a large number of pages.

Tip:
Although this is a more convenient way of site navigation, I realize that some older versions of web browsers cannot display 'frames'.  If you have one of these older versions, I have added coding to my frames pages that should allow your browser to display the contents anyway.  You will just get more exercise by having to click on a link, wiewing the page the link pertains to, and hitting your "BACK" button to return to the page you linked from.  Another way that you can open the link is to right-click on the link and select "Open in New Window" from the menu.  Once you have viewed that page, merely close that window.  The window that contained the link you used will still be on your monitor, ready for you to open another link.  (This method will work for whatever website you are browsing, not just this one.)

If your browser doesn't display frames and you see nothing
or get an error message when trying to view one of my pages,
 let me know
and I will try and correct the situation.

Another tip:
Most of my web site is comprised of text.  I have chosen to use a fairly small text size to allow you to see more lines of text without having to do quite so much scrolling.  If you find the text size is too small for comfortable reading, you can enlarge the text size with the following method:

At the top of your browser window is a menu bar.  Move your mouse cursor to the "VIEW" menu and click on it.  Select "Text Size" from the menu that drops down, and click on "Larger" or "Largest".  The text in your window should then be enlarged, making it easier to read.

You can also use this 'trick' on any other website.
